Sally Jewell, U.S. Secretary of the Interior under President Barack Obama and former CEO of REI, has been appointed as the Edward V. Fritzky Endowed Chair in Leadership at the UW Foster School of Business for the 2021-2022 school year. Established in 2002, this faculty position is designed to bring distinguished leaders to campus to share their expertise with faculty and students. Jewell is currently on the boards of Costco, Symetra Financial, Green Diamond Resource and The Nature Conservancy, where she recently served as interim CEO. The Edward V.
